Foul language is one of the many things that ruins the gaming experience and until now, nobody could really do much to regulate in-game chat. But with the xbox one and the playstation 4's voice recognition technology, bad language can be detected and met with a penalty [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5okb9Vc8SY] as demonstrated in this video.[/url].
In Destiny, players should be kicked from the game every time they swear and put on a 5 minute time out box in which they would be unable to join any matches. The penalty will double every time they break it:
1st foul: 5 minutes
2nd foul: 10 minutes
3rd foul: 20 minutes.
4th foul: 40 minutes
5th foul: 80 minutes and so on.
This would be a great deterrent for foul language. And the best part? If you want to swear, then don't use the microphone or the kinect.
EDIT: Apparently there is some misunderstanding about freedom of speech. The first amendment says that government cannot regulate free speech. This amendment does NOT apply to corporate services such as xbox live and PSN. If they want to crack down on profanity, they have every right to do so. In fact, both Microsoft and Sony are removing streams that have excessive profanity. Food for thought.
Second EDIT: A few people have brought up the fact that the ESRB does not regulate online interactions. This is quite irrelevant, as they are only responsible for reviewing the game content. That would be like somebody saying the FDA does not regulate electrical installations as an argument against electrical safety. It is completely irrelevant.

Foul language ruins the gaming experience ya I'll keep that in mind for the rated mature games
-
Would you consider the use of competitive when used with Destiny inappropriate language or foul?
-
Do you even know what happened to Dunkey? Besides,"Online interactions are not rated by the ESRB." is there for a reason. Internet freedom is what makes the internet what it is. Restricting bad language is not a good idea, no matter the good intentions.
-
What's so wrong with saying -blam!- or shit? Literally they are words that some ass wipe deemed offensive. Wait, are you the reincarnation of him??
-
Online interactions are not rated. Should say so on the back of the box, bro...
-
What would happen if you emitted a ring of curses? Would be one offensive? Or would the time out stack for each expletive? By your system u could see myself getting 60 minute ban from a single flag loss.

I dont care about your satire tag. Dont tell me how to live my life.
-
Thank god for tags

Mute button works wonders for those you do not wish to hear. Don't join groups or chat rooms with those who say things you don't wish to hear. Simple fix without penalty to others for using profanity. Adults and unfortunately teens, tweens and children use profanity these days.
